If you're looking for an oasis inside the city, the Highbury is the place. I stayed on a long term business trip, and it was exactly what I was looking for after long work days. The accomodations are clean, WiFi strong, and the owners are kind and welcoming. The stay is a short Tuktuk ride away from major attractions and has some great restaurants nearby.

The hospitality of the owners is impressive. Located in a quiet and peaceful area, this hotel awakens our artistic sensibilities with its well-maintained garden and the fusion of indoor and courtyard spaces. Listening to the sounds of wild birds as the morning sun pours in is soothing. I highly recommend staying for an extended period of time.

Dejligt åndehul i storbyen
Dejligt afslappet med smagfuld indretning. Hjælpsom værtspar. Skøn lille velholdt have med fuglesang. Lidt til den dyre side. Morgenmad ok men lidt dyrt (10 $ pr. person) Et godt sted vi kan anbefale som et åndehul i en ellers travl by

Prima verblijf, mooie kamer echter duur ontbijt
The room was nice, clean and the A-C worked good. The bathroom had sufficiënt hot water. Only the breakfast was quite expensive (10USD/pp). Breakfast was good but nothing special. The location is ok, it is 250-300rs with tuktuk from the centre of Colombo. Overal a nice clean room. But the breakfast is quite expensive!

Gorgeous boutique hotel.
This small hotel is located within a beautiful family home and property. The neighborhood is green and has a few nice restaurants, supermarket and post office all close by walking. We enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it!

Home stay feeling
Really nice play to relax. Little oasis in the busy colombo. A little bit difficult to find as it looks like a private house from outside. I recommemd use uber as you can fill in the exact address. We stayed in the suite and it was wonderful. Room is spacious and comfortable and bed feels like sleeping in a cloud. Highly recommended!

Perfect stay for a hectic Colombo
Our stay at the Highbury was wonderful. It really is a lovely place. The staff and owners were extremely kind and personable. They helped us with rides from the airport and around town. Sherlock was amazing! He drove us everywhere and took very good care of us. 5 stars for him!!! The breakfasts were a perfect way to start the day. This was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. Thank you!

Hyggeligt hotel
Et lille familiedrevet hotel i hyggelige omgivelser. Meget søde og imødekommende og ikke mindst hjælpsomme værter. Det ligger dog lidt langt fra ting, men de hjælper gerne med transport.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Bed bugs
It was difficult to find the place (entrance isn't obvious and the reception is at the back and isn't always manned) and once we did, the hotel staff weren't particularly friendly. The hotel is nicely decorated but there were lots of mozzies. Worst of all, I found myself with bedbug bites after our stay. It was our final stop in Sri Lanka so very unfortunate.

Worst Hotel Experince in Sri Lanka
Photos are deceiving. We booked the family room and paid more then $200 for 2 nights. They provided us with 1 queen bed and 3 not so stable bunk beds. Toilet bowls were so dirty from previous usages of other guests. We found red ants on their tables. We were roaches near the bed side. Air con was not strong. Place was quite dirty. Their pictures are deceiving.

まるでリゾートホテル
コロンボの喧騒から離れ、一軒家にお邪魔するような感覚で、滞在を楽しむことができた。まるで建築家の自宅のように、フォトジェニックな空間だった。看板は小さく、入り口はなんの変哲もないスライド式の鉄扉で、見つけるのにやや苦労した。朝食はまあまあ。

Moderne Rückzugsort in einer Großstadt
Das Hotel ist baulich sehr schön gestaltet. Die Besitzer sind unheimlicht nett und man fühlt sich gleich sehr wohl in diesem Hotel. Es besteht die Möglichkeit eines Flughafentransfer, sowie die Möglichkeit Essen und Trinken über das Hotel zu erhalten. Ich hab mich unheimlich wohl in meinem Zimmer gewohlt und würde das Hotel auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.
